MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (KGO) -- Google says its artificial intelligence system "Gemini" hacked into three companies.

It reportedly happened in May during a test of the AI's cybersecurity capabilities.

The Mountain View-based company says Gemini gained access by using passwords found online or by guessing login information.

Why this matters

The incident suggests an AI system tested for cybersecurity could obtain access across multiple organizations using publicly available or guessed credentials. It could intensify scrutiny of safeguards, authorization controls and accountability for autonomous AI security testing, even though Google said the hacks caused no damage.

Google did not name the companies but says it notified them in July and that the hacks did not cause any damage.

At this time, none of the impacted companies have come forward.

Federal authorities have been notified.
